Of course it's a business. They can deny service to anyone they so choose if that person breaks their terms of service or at the end of their service period. The key element here is if they break the terms of service, which the person involved did not do. That person is under contract with Simutronics, Inc. for a 30 day period, and has agreed to their end user license agreement and policies. That person broke none of those policies, but was harassed by an upper management level employee of Simutronics Incorporated who accused him of wrongdoing outside of Simutronics' servers, with zero evidence to back that claim up.

That is not only a breach of contract on behalf of Simutronics, Inc, but also harassment in the eyes of the law. The question is - Was this the action of Simutronics, Inc. as a whole, Stillfront Group, or a single rogue employee acting of their own volition?

Have you read their TOS? Because I can say with almost certainty, without myself reading the any of it, that they have to right to cancel anyone’s subscription with appropriate refunding of subscription fees at any time. They’re not obligated to let anyone play, it’s a private entity. Good luck getting the police involved; might as well alert the ACLU and Reverend Al while you’re at it. And while I agree Lich/Lnet and PC shouldn’t fall within the domain of Simu, the hard on you have for Wyrom is ridiculous. #Lichtoo

Yeah, as long as Simu isn't telling anyone "You can't play this game because you're black" or something similar to that effect then legally Simu can pretty much ban anyone they want at anytime. I don't think this is a legal issue, just a shitty policy.

Yep, you're right. I just read through their most recent end user license agreement, so I'll withdraw that. Incidentally that license agreement hasn't been updated since Cyberstrike 2 was a thing. It's only available that I can see on Cyberstrike's website. Assuming it's the same, they can cancel you anytime, and also any money you've paid for service cannot be refunded or converted to cash. Meaning not only will they not refund your paid balance, but also any simucoins you may have purchased can't be refunded, so don't be caught with any unspent coins either.

Absolutely it is harassment with a rogue employee going after a person with zero evidence of wrongdoing though.

So are people believing that people sent him screens or he read zaoloos game window history and doesn't wanna admit it?
if you type ;lnet suck my cock bitches into the game window but it isn't a gs verb you think they aren't able to see that?

I don’t believe the “;lnet” commands are actually part of the game. I say this because I wrote a script solely based on “;lnet” commands I would come back after an hour and I would always be logged off, one time I finally scrolled above and found that I was logged for inactivity (my script never sent actions into the game itself just kept tabs on lnet chat). Therefore, you can reasonably assume that “;lnet” commands never enter the game at any point. Again, an assumption.

you're typing it into the game window, just because it isn't a responsive command doesn't mean it isn't sent

Lich runs a local server that all your commands are sent through first and then either processed by lich or sent to the GS servers proper. The semicolon defines which goes where. So yeah, if you are running lich and type ";anything you want" they can't see that. If you start off with ; anything after it is parsed by lich only. I believe that also works in the other direction, so all the incoming traffic from the game client goes through lich first and then goes to the local client you have running for the game.
